Katharine McPhee's American Idol Journey ( Complete )

[@JobjobJob-f6e]

She deserved to win. She shone all the way. Watching this in 2024 and happily knowing that in life she won. Well deserved Katherine. ❤

[@pdoylemi]

Agreed. No hate for Taylor, but she was way better. He was very fun though, and a very good singer.

[@kathleenscott8610]

Katharine was born to sing. She is a beautiful woman with a natural talent and sultry personality. Simon was right about Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Her unique voice and stage presence soars bright among the stars. Katharine didn't win Idol, but she won by being there and has enjoyed a great career as a singer and actress ✨️❤️‍🔥. From Ontario, Canada 😊xx

Let's give the guy (or gal) who put together this compilation together a serious round of applause. All the video and audio is clear, and all of the performances are complete with judges comments. This was all done before DVR's and was not easy to compile and preserve and it's a great service for people (like me) who like to go back and watch past performances of some of the best Idol contestants. Many of them are missing/lost but I'm SO glad that Katherine's performances are all saved!

thanks Fernando pray with me ok, amen....Great singing job...wahoo...And about her, maybe i am biased? I do agree she chose songs she liked... or was given songs not in her best range. Yet, the judges were very hard on her at times. Many sing Whitney songs, never hearing, "wrong song for you, you are not Whitney!" Whitney was not the best Whitney until she became it. Katharine was and is aspiring to be her best. She has a kind caring heart, ..which her husband should be very thankful for .David Foster who needs Jesus forgiveness and salvation Amazing Grace. Yes, and like i was too, he is a twirp, with a prenup too. but they seem to be doing good. it is his 6th marriage and he says he is a runner, leaves when it is not good for him...leaving behind numbers of children forgotten...but recently he seems to be visiting with some of them on Sundays. Back to the future...i think it has been dimmed for her by association....but with God all things are possible. Please pray with me for her to be her best and for David Foster also.

I'm hoping you are talking about after this competition. From her audition, throughout most of the competition, I wasn't buying what she was singing. She was constantly following the cameras, instead of sing to her audients that most likely paid a lot of money to get a ticket. In the song suggested near the end of the competition for her, there she showed as if she was living or had lived what she was singing about, she wasn't following the camera, and she wasn't over singing it. There she was awesome, but for the rest of the competition, I thought she was using her sex appeal more than her talent. I think if she's learned to sing with true emotion, without thinking she is high and mighty, then she must be awesome to see because the talent is there, as long as she doesn't over sing the song. When she goes to high sometimes it sounds like a cat scratching on a chalk board.

[@janetkaminski1976]

​ Well it's no secret she has the most famous song writer who she worked with on the show when she sang Whitney's I have Nothing (without you). Selected for her to sing Andre Bocelli agreed on the choice and the judges slammed her but if it didn't have Whitney's name attached to it.They woulda gone crazy for it. They have her bigger props for songs she sang worse. I don't think it's fair to compare it to the original singers performance. If they do then why when the contestant puts their own spin on it and then commend them for it, that makes no sense at all. BTW...I'm sure you know Catherine McPhee is married to David Foster there best song writer who has had hundreds of song go to number one, most of them he discovered. All top shelf singers as well

[@googleisscary7845]

+GoogleIsScary To those who may happen across this upload, who are Katharine fans, and who may wish to read and/or comment, I offer this lengthy follow-up…. I remember when I first discovered American Idol. It was during Season 5. I was channel surfing and, BAMB, there was an image of Katharine McPhee. I immediately stopped surfing … and I’ve been an AI addict ever since. This year (Season 15) is American Idol’s last. While I will miss it, methinks it is time for AI to go into television’s history book. I will always remember the many hours I spent watching AI -- and I will never forget Katharine. That said, beware: critical comments follow. As I watched and re-watched these three hours of “Kat’s” songs I became acutely aware of one specific thing: she was off-key A LOT! (How “Katharine” became “Kat” somewhere during the Season perhaps only the producers of AI can explain.) Watching this three hour compilation brought to mind a number of decade-long questions: Does the best singer win? Do the producers manipulate the show? Is the voting rigged? Endless questions…. Alas, and perhaps mercifully, fifteen years of AI is (almost) over. Now I’m gonna go direct my thoughts and criticisms at “The Voice!”

[@janenejones2036]

It’s fun watching this and remembering these contestants. There are some really standout people who have gone far even if they didn’t win. I love ‘em all! Kat is one of those people.

I didn’t know she was an actress before she became a singer.

[@lifeisgoodll]

I missed this season but fell in love with Katherine in SMASH. Her vocals are flawless in that show.

[@davidisrael9412]

ikr how cool is that...pray with me ok, amen....Great singing job...wahoo...And about her, maybe i am biased? I do agree she chose songs she liked... or was given songs not in her best range. Yet, the judges were very hard on her at times. Many sing Whitney songs, never hearing, "wrong song for you, you are not Whitney!" Whitney was not the best Whitney until she became it. Katharine was and is aspiring to be her best. She has a kind caring heart, ..which her husband should be very thankful for .David Foster who needs Jesus forgiveness and salvation Amazing Grace. Yes, and like i was too, he is a twirp, with a prenup too. but they seem to be doing good. it is his 6th marriage, and he says he is a runner, leaves when it is not good for him...leaving behind numbers of children forgotten...but recently he seems to be visiting with some of them on Sundays. Back to the future...i think it has been dimmed for her by association....but with God all things are possible. Please pray with me for her to be her best and for David Foster also.

Hard to believe this was ten years ago. I missed that season so I really enjoyed watching this recap of her journey. I first saw her in Smash where she was amazing. She gave me the chills that only true talent gives you. Watching this journey I fell in love with her voice, her smile, her laugh, her hair, the way she made love to the camera and her dancing. She is the total package, no question. Hard to believe she didn't win this season. Good that she's still around in Scorpion. Haven't seen much of Taylor since he won.

[@michaelottto7461]

Liked her in Smash too!

I felt that the judges wanted to pigeon-hole her into the ballads category, but she nailed some of the up-tempo songs & it showed her vocal range, as well as letting her personality come through - whilst I agree that some of the song choices could have been better (ie choose less well-known songs which then means less unfavourable comparison), the judges were also a little harsh IMHO! Love a lot of the stuff she has done since & nice to see her happily married to David Foster, long may that continue!

[@celticwitan]

Of course she can sing, she's a celtic woman. She is great on Scorpion. I am watching this show and this pretty waitress looks familar. So I watched the credits and saw her name. She is a good actress as well as singer. I am happy that American idol kicked off her career. Good thing she was 21 so she was discovered early. I can see her playing many roles in tv and movies, especially where they need an actress who can sing. I also need to comment on her uncanny beautiful looks. What a rare look she has.

[@diannaaaaaax]

+James Hightower i know, right. just an incredible classic beauty.

[@mivanc]

+James Hightower She's great in Scorpion, I agree.

[@tacildaaquino4620]

+dianna G I liked her in Smash

[@FoxyStealth]

I don’t think she ever sang with Celtic Woman ...?

[@Loolooette]

Can I just say that so many people this season were so incredibly talented and are successful now

[@Brea_marie]

Still think Katherine should've won, but she's done so well in her career and life regardless. One of the most amazing talents I've ever seen/heard!!

[@thomasmcdonough2748]

For me, THE best talent.

[@beverlymelton7204]

Thomas McDonough has

[@SailorBayleyMoon]

And i heard that Taylor Hicks was a bust in his career. So they got the winner wrong

[@starofthebest]

Her third finale song failed her....

[@vivovivo572]

Fantastic and sublime. Thank you Catherine!

[@chriscoyne9717]

She has a lot of star quality. The Kelly Clarkson of this season, except her upper belting register didn't sound to developed at the time, but a lot of voice coaches teach you not to push your range

[@crisssontay8341]

I love how giggly and awkward she gets sometimes, its adorable. I just hope she never looses her humility as she gets more famous.

[@lstoner6028]

Mww

[@lstoner6028]

[@wjohnson100]

Yea her belting is definitely not her strong point. Everywhere else is gold though. The judges are better now I think. If I had to hear "pitchy" from Randy again ... It's amazing she got to the final as much as the judges were beating up on her. She handled it all gracefully though.

[@katecosettevocals]

She is incredible win or lose. Even more incredible in smash.

[@sheilahall]

Absolutely awesome compilation!!!! A huge thank you for all your work😘

[@artmanjohn2]

Can't believe this was 2006, seems just like a couple years ago. Thanks for putting this together, awesome job. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Blue-Zircon]

@artmanjohn2 I don't really watch this stuff, not that I don't care but because of the shifts I work I just can't keep track of what's happening and I just got tired of not knowing what was really happening. So I literally stopped watching. I wish to thank you artmanjohn2 for leaving your comment! Now I readily admit that I may have missed what I had been looking for, One tends to over look 'obvious' things that are 'not obvious'. ---- I watched the entire video, read the description, etc. and I read all the comments leading up to (before) your comment in an effort to find out what year this American Idol contest took place. ---- Once more I thank you and for your foresight of giving us (the non-indoctrinated fans) the YEAR (2006) of production! --- These things are of interest to more than just the people in the know! ;) THIS WAS A VERY INTERESTING VIDEO ---I had forgotten how many times they got up before the audience back then to get to the finals!

[@TheresevonBrunsvick]

Love this! This was the best season ever. I saw them in concert and had the album. I loved it!

[@anadorca8353]

She's an amazing singer she should of won...I don't know why but America was blind or something..she's incredible better than that one guy..for real!!

Thank you for doing this compilation of Katherine’s American Idol journey! You did a wonderful job! You get an A from me👏👏

[@lotrsws2]

I remember this was beyond my favorite season of idol. Katharine was so amazing thank you for putting this up

[@VonnieVonVonX2]

After listening to her debut single on Spotify I just had to come on here and further analyze this great talent

[@binksters_dad]

she is so beautiful. love her voice as well. this girl is a straight up performer

[@Lisa_GalCali]

I enjoyed this compilation very much.

[@Cmc995]

Vocally, shes a bit broadway, I think because of her classical training,but she sings with such soul,like an r&b singer.

[@kentbloxham3826]

That is such a beautiful breath of fresh air. Thank You Pastór. It’s also wonderful that we can once again hear the Alleluias ringing out !!

[@vale12333]

Esa fue la mejor temporada de American Idol inolvidablel, definitivamente Katharine debio haber ganado era la mejor..

[@808taiwan6]

So much talent from this season!!!!!

[@anacarolaguilar]

So many years later and she is still my all time favorite American Idol contestant. Like someone else said, she was gonna stay on our minds for years to come and she has! Can't even remember the winner of Season Five...

[@katie.e.g.]

Taylor hicks. I was like WHY!?! It was so shocking. And where is he now? No one knows. Katharine had it in the bag.

[@Anniek123212]

Funny we cannot ever predict what will happen!
